As I peruse the blogosphere & channel-surf, I am growing more & more amazed at how little 'play' any conservative gets, quoted - or misquoted - unless it is to be used as a 'joke'.

I'm not laughing. As near as I can tell, most people who have a moral compass - whether they are liberals or conservatives - are disgusted by such crude, rude, tacky & socially unacceptable behavior as letterman is currently spouting & then he tries to 'justify' & 'explain'. The words were coming out of his mouth, he knew what he was saying & he was enjoying it. The small laughter from the audience shows me that he is definitely on the wrong path & even the most liberal of liberals, are now becoming offended.

Holding someone such as letterman up as a spokesman for liberal ideas, concepts, thoughts, & 'jokes' is making a lot of people not just uncomfortable, but disgusted. These same liberals want to stay on his guest list so they won't have the courage - have they ever? - to say what they think. He has reached a new low in his monologue & many are realizing that they do not want anyone like him as their neighbor or near their children, especially their daughters. Then Playboy came out with even more disturbing, disgusting, degrading garbage. Carrie Prejean is being villified because she respectfully stated her thoughts & they are the exact same as the POTUS; she is being trampled & yet the POTUS is adored by the same ones who are slamming Prejean.

So, where will it end? When people actually find the courage to stand for what is right & to condemn what is wrong. Many people are quietly doing this, but quite frankly, 'quietly' is the problem.

Personally, I have had more than enough. I do not want my daughter to believe she is a 2nd-class citizen because of her sex. I do not want my daughter to stuff her beliefs down inside & 'go along to get along'. This, after all, is what we are being asked to do.

If you have not written, called, emailed your objections to the moral degradation obviously on display on t.v., then you are part of the problem. Would you want anyone to basically call your daughter/sister/mother/friend/lover/wife a whore simply for expressing opinions held by approximately 80% of the citizens of the U.S.? If your daughter's name appeared on a 'hate rape' list, what would you do? Answer that question & then do it.

Ignoring all this will not make it go away. In fact, by ignoring the garbage being shoveled into your home from the self-appointed 'cool' people, you are agreeing. When you grow a spine, when YOU write/email/text/call to protest the attacks on women - no matter who is saying these things - then they will be lessened.

No, they will not go away. But, at least it is a beginning by stating your opinion. I would be equally insulted if the 'hate rape' list was on liberal women. I would be equally insulted if letterman's diatribes were regarding the daughters of a liberal.

I am a woman. I am afraid for my daughter. If you are not afraid for your own daughter, wife, sister, Mother, Aunt.....the list goes on....then you are not living in the real world.

Wake up before it is too late. As I have always told my children: Right is right even when no one is doing it & wrong is wrong even when everyone is doing it.

FIRST LAW: A body at rest or of uniform motion, stays at rest or in uniform motion, unless an external unbalanced force changes this.

SECOND LAW: The net force on an object is equal to the size & weight of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

THIRD LAW: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

These three laws of motion, forming the scientifically accepted basis for classical mechanics, are the work of Sir Issac Newton (1643-1727). I remind you of them in a simplistic form. Think of them, especially the 3rd Law, in relation to the actions being taken in Washington. Congress should be made aware of these laws & the sooner, the better because they are PROVING one or more of these laws with the passing of every bill.

During campaigns, candidates tell us how smart they are & how much they will do for us. Do any of them ever tell the truth that no matter how smart they think they are or what they plan to do, they will screw things up for us? In fact, do they ever tell the truth? Their 1st concern is getting elected & from then on, their focus is on re-election & POWER.

Why would anyone one spend MILLIONS of dollars to get a (supposed to be) temporary job that pays around $150,000? This makes no sense in the real world. Therefore, there has to be a way for them to make money since almost every congressman & senator is a multi-millionaire after 1 or 2 terms in office.

Thinking about it, their last bit of truth was most likely when they stated their name. From then on, we are supposed to just accept whatever they do & say, regardless of how it negatively affects us & then re-elect these same self-serving liars. Any time a politician starts to tell me that they are doing "something that is good" for me, I cringe. I know it is simply not true. It is about power & money. THEIR power & THEIR money.

Read Star Parker's comments on Townhall.com about the 'government plantation' (& other things), remember the 3 Laws of Motion, & learn to say "yes sir, mass'ah sir" to the nanny-state government coming soon to YOUR paycheck, YOUR healthcare, YOUR mortgage company, YOUR bank, YOUR grocery store, YOUR favorite fast-food place, YOUR area, YOUR life, YOU.

Be ready to move on to the plantation. Yes sir, mass'ah sir.

Child #2 is irresponsible, spends every penny earned/received & runs up massive debts to 'pay later' so when a big 'want' or 'need' comes along, they run to Mommy & Daddy for $$. Child #2 continues to spend & accumulate more debt even after being rescued time & again by Mommy & Daddy.

Substitute the word "California " for "Child #2"
Substitute the words "Federal Government" for "Mommy & Daddy"

Last question: if California can continue to spend like congress & the president, i.e. with nothing to back it up & no money to cover the debts, why should any other state in the country try to operate in the black?

A bailout of irresponsible state governments (AND businesses) rewards them for being irresponsible & penalizes responsible state governments (AND responsible businesses).

with 1 son having graduated with his Bachelor's & 2 still in college, I am very well aware of how they have to subvert their own voices to 'fit' with the edicts of the professors - otherwise their grades suffer. It has never been glaring enough to bring a lawsuit, but as this is the favorite weapon of libs & the left-essors, it will happen & become the favored weapon of those mean, nasty conservatives. Like me.

Foolishly, stupidly, ignorantly - when the oldest went off to high academia, I thought it was a place to discuss different ideals, concepts, constructs, etc. SILLY SILLY SILLY ME! I could not have been more wrong. It is about indoctrinating young people, as many, as quickly as possible - verified by the MASSIVE size of state universities.

My thoughts yesterday, after Notre Dame dishonored themselves at the altar of bho, were on how the opinions/impressions would change in 6 months or a year, of all those graduates who are still locked in the throes of 'worship' of bho. When they can find no work in their chosen 'field', one or both parents are out of a job, parents lose their businesses, etc. - then what? do they run to their obamessiah & beg for a handout? do they mention they were in the grad class that dishonored themselves? how long until pesky old reality slaps them up side the head?

Once their ears are ringing from the slaps, once their parents are sick of the grads living back at home & sponging off them -- will they all admit they have been had? Or, as so many I know are doing right now - blame it on congress, advisors, Bush, anyone & everyone (except bho) & forgive/excuse bho?

We will have to see whether they actually did any true growing up during their years in college or if it was just a waste of time & a convenient place to gather votes for bho.

Abraham Lincoln said "You may fool all the people some of the time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can’t fool all of the people all the time."

God help them when reality bites. bho won't - he's already looking for the newbies on campus for 2012.

& Notre Dame loses support. The pounding of feet you hear is people running from their mailboxes straight to the shredder with the ND begging letters. Had ND simply asked him to speak, I think some of the objections would still be there but with presenting an honorary degree, the objections came to a boil. To quote Alan Keyes, "it is fundamentally at odds with what Catholic school kids should be learning." All 3 of my children attended Catholic schools for almost all K thru 12 grades & this disturbs me, as well as them, on so many levels.

To quote Robert DeNiro from the movie Broken Trail, "I am a thoroughly failed Christian". I say this because only GOD will decide if I am a "good" Christian or a "good" Catholic. I can only do the best I can & work for His purposes. It is the hardest thing to do because my own will & wants get in the way. However, I do not pretend to be someone I am not. Some guy speaking out for bho on FOX said that was the reason bho was going to ND is because he is engaging in a 'dialogue' with Catholics. There can BE no dialogue with someone who believes Roe v. Wade was the watershed moment for women, believes embryos are nothing, believes abortion should be allowed anytime, anywhere, for anyone, for any reason, AT ANY STAGE OF PREGNANCY. In fact, the U.S. believes so strongly in abortions - as bho represents us - that the taxpayers even pay for abortions in other countries.

The 'star struck' swooners today at Notre Dame will hear nothing to dissuade them. I find it offensive that ND will confer an 'honor' on bho. The University used to be a beacon of light for many Catholic families who dreamed of their children attending a top-flight university. Now, that light is dimmed for many more than the Board at ND can imagine. I would feel sorry for them, but they brought it on themselves. Asking him to speak was one thing, 'honoring' him takes it to a whole different level - down.

While I am on 'honors', here is the one who deserves honors: PROFESSOR MARY ANN GLENDON. The former U.S. ambassador to the Vatican told Notre Dame she will not accept the school's top honor because the school is giving President Barack Obama an honorary degree at commencement. Professor Glendon, an anti-abortion scholar and Harvard University law professor, wrote in a letter to the Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, that giving Obama an honorary degree violates the U.S. bishops' 2004 statement that Roman Catholic institutions shouldn't honor people whose actions conflict with the church's moral principles.

Every moral position of bho is in absolute direct conflict with Catholic Church. Or at least what they are supposed to be. The priest in my (former) home church told parishioners that we should not be 'one issue' voters & bho's position on life should not keep us from voting for him. EXCUSE ME? He did this about Kerry 4 years ago & this time was the final straw for me. Supported by his parish, not living as most families have to - many are struggling - he has no clue what the real world is like. His position, combined with other ministers, influenced many to the greatest deception in our history thus far. All the time bho was stating his positions, my priest was castigating anyone not grabbing onto bho's legs.

Sadly, the younger kids, especially college age, simply DO NOT see the issues. They do not see his charm & charisma come from speak writers & his delivery of those lines from a teleprompter. They are 'star struck' by his being at ND. I know this because several younger college kids are there to watch their sibling graduate & they are simply google-eyed that they will "be near him", meaning bho. bho is a superb actor with a teleprompter but I have to wonder, does it have little notes like "look serious", "smile", "look humble" (tough one).Unless & until we can educate these young people - we have lost the battle. I am not yet so cynical that I believe we have lost the war.

We need to rethink how to communicate. We need to find succinct communicators who convey Conservative messages CONSISTENTLY; are reasoned/reasonable without denying the Conservative morals; are thoroughly immune to seeing themselves as a 'star'; are in firm support of our Constitution. We need to walk the walk as well as talk the talk. Do these people exist? Absolutely! Do I know who they are? Absolutely not. But we should definitely start with people like Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, Ron Paul, Bob Jindahl (with a makeover & shoulderpads), & Rick Perry.

If FOX News is the only channel that will give a fair hearing, go to them time & again as they are the #1 rated news channel. If newspapers do not print reality, find a buyer & change the paper to one of fairness & reality. If radio stations are to be taken over by the bho FCC dictates, conservative talk radio will broadcast from offshore. There are many Conservatives with a lot of money who are willing to spend it to help AS LONG AS THE MESSAGE IS COHESIVE & SOLID & CLEAR.

Not so hard, really, when you think about it. The Grass Roots Movement was dismissed by so many "in power" (AstroTurf to Pelosi) yet it continues - much to the chagrin of those who want to wear the mantle of "moderate" (aka wimp, aka go-along-to-get-along), or want to ignore that this country was founded on THE CONSTITUTION. The Grass Roots people (yep, I am one of 'those') are scary simply because we are asking elected officials to represent the voters. That is another blog though.

So, this is why I say that I cannot tell you I am a 'good' Catholic or a 'good' Christian. This is for God to decide on my judgment day. Not a priest who tells me it is acceptable to not only deny the teachings of the Bible, but I can pick & choose which mores of the Catholic faith to follow. Somehow, when I come before God, I don't think He will accept an excuse like "my priest said it was ok".

quick....make a u-turn....& pay attention
